[1.1.5] rendering.draw_sprite time_to_live has to be at least 2

[yagaodirac]

rendering.draw_sprite{..., time_to_live = 2} This works.
rendering.draw_sprite{..., time_to_live = 1} This doesn't.

Thanks for the report however that's just how it works.

To be honest, I didn't expect this to be intentional. I'll say it's a bug in my tutorial. But it does work well except for this.

The way script rendering logic works is: decrement time-to-live, if 0 then it's dead, then render all non-dead rendering objects.

So if you start with 1 time-to-live you never render it because it dies the same tick it's created.

I really recommend you introduce more intuition in api. This detail is annoying with nothing good in return.
